TOUR TOURS TOURS

Pennsylvania‘s legendary big shot TODD RUNGREN ,
aged 77, had a remarkable career, which is far from
over.

His latest LP, called Space Force already dates from 2022,
but the musical centipede is unstoppable on the road (as I
witnessed last year in Brussels, formidable show).

New dates announced for North America and Europe.

Tickets

For Los Angeles grunge rock shedevils L7 (1985–2001, 2014–present)
it will be their farewell tour.

Frontwoman Donita Sparks told Pitchfork: “When L7 decided to release a documentary
in 2015, we thought maybe we would take one last victory lap around the sun by playing some shows. Instead, that lap turned into eleven more years of touring, sweat, new music, and reconnecting with the fans. We are deeply grateful and ready to give our audiences one last, loud, fun, and hopefully unforgettable night of rock & roll.”

Tickets

Paramore‘s utterly charismatic frontwoman HAYLEY WILLIAMS, ‘s
current solo tour is hopelessly sold out. This asks for more dates.

The Imperishable SPARKS Brothers Can’t Stop – New Tour Dates

6 May 2026

The brothers Ron (79) and Russell Mael (76), known to the world as SPARKS
are around since 1966. Yes, that’s 60 years and no sign of retirement. Music
is the dominant element in their DNA. They can’t stop, neither in the studio
nor on stage.

One year ago they released their 28th album, called MAD!, went on the road,
launched a 4-track EP, named Madder!, took a break after a couple of months
touring and are now fit again to play live.

Ticket info here.

This town is still big enough for the both of them.
